Re: Video Games Make Smart Minds
I totally agree with this. I've had involuntary reflexes kick in when I least expect them to. Like a glass falling off the table, or catching something thrown my way when I was barely paying attention. Which is normally followed by "cool do it again" and whatever it was smacking me in the nuts or forehead. Cool party… -
Re: Hellgate: London
I'm actually a bit disappointed. Not that I think the game would be bad or anything, but I guess I'm getting worn out of FPS games that have me shooting demons with sci-fi styled weaponry. I look at these screenies and don't see much beyond Doom3 and Painkiller. I feel the same sort of 'blah' about the Gears of War stuff… -
Re: WC_NE_Drood.. WIP
guess its a Just My opinion that they are not that great. DKK- i agree with you but i always feel that textures and a good uv layout go hand and hand, because if its all bad uv issues someone would create some horrible textures and be like "oh just uv issues" "All those things you listed there are minor nit picks the… -
Re: Workshop #4 - Rufuss
Hi Rufuss, and welcome to Polycount. You've made a good job and I got some points to push it a bit further if you like. A. There is a smoothing error. Control the topology. You got there 6 edges converging on a single vertex and it can cause too much surface stretch. Add edges to avoid such poles. B. Check the hard curve… -
Re: Help with Ref
i worked at a sawmill for several years before getting into the games industry, and while i know exactly what this is,, i never commited the actual name to my memory. it is the first saw that cuts long logs into managable lengths before they enter the mill. they go from here thru the debarker, then are split, some go to… -
Re: i have never finished a character model.
Also, if you wanna grow, why not just do quick zbrush sculpts using the base head mesh? This way you can hone in on a skill. As for a quick one-day or one weekend project go for something quick, generic, just to get the "I finished something" attitude going. Don't get hung up on the individual brush stroke, look at the… -
Re: somebody want my job?
Regardless if John does it alone or with a few of his colleagues, something definitely should be said. I think if you approached others and said, "Let's at least hold a team meeting with Mr. Bossman and tell him what we feel", that would be a good positive start. And maybe even try to lay down some solutions...just to make… -
Re: Fable II
Hmm, I definitely disagree with you PolyHertz. Everyone to their own I guess, however the game is fantastic by any standard I know of. Sure you can nit pick it and find bugs. But you can do that with every other game in existance as well. What it comes down to is that Fable II has a hell of a lot more good than bad. Though… -
Re: UT3 Environment inspired by WAR
I tend to make spline outlines in max to test the repeat before I take 5 or 6 bricks into Zbrush and go nuts. I always export a teselated plane behind the extruded splines and ensure the bricks are at slight tilted angles. That way in zbrush i have bricks and the grout between them being modified together for a more… -
Re: Roll your own engine, roll your own problems
Speaking as the Hobbiest Group on MSN I would like to defend our decision to write our own engine and for clarification, we aren't a "hobbiest" Group at this point, we are a fully licensed Limited Liability Corporation in the state of Indiana. I prefer Independent Game Studio 1.) The game we are currently developing came…
